Guide Summary and Photographs

The calves we saw today were quite active and playful. Once we approached them close enough to watch them, the approached our vessel Dream Cather. At some point we were surrounded by these amazing animals. The mothers were just resting and watching their calves whiles they were busy slapping the flippers on the surface. On our second trip we spotted playful calf just to the right of the harbour, he was breaching many times. After watching these gentile giants we were heading to our sister company, who offer Great White shark cage diving. Just arrived at their vessel Slashfin we did get to see a Great White shark. The African penguins on Dyer Island today were busy making their way to the sea, when we captured a few pictures. Arrived in Shark Alley we found most of the Cape Fur seals on their little Island named Geyser Rock.
